Phillipe Isler, PsychologistI have over 15 years experience helping people develop insight, resolve issues, and make changes in their lives.
My background is in a holistic approach integrating a number of theoretical orientations and therapeutic approaches. Some people seek a practical solution-oriented approach to help them with their problems, others also look for varying degrees of personal growth and change, when they seek help for problems. I adjust my own approach to helping each client accordingly. My focus is on helping each person in a way that is appropriate and effective for that person. Human life is sometimes described as a “journey of learning.” The problems and challenges that bring people to counseling and psychotherapy can frequently be seen on this level, as “problems of living.” Obstacles, problems and issues are not personal failings, they are opportunities to learn, to develop, and sometimes to heal - in other words, to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
